I"ll start out on a positive note when you get this floor down it is very beautiful , but you need to hear all of this it is very hard to install due to alot of the pieces are milled diffrent whiths very hard to match pieces . Alot of pieces are cupped very bad which I was woried about with a wider floor . A the worst of all is its not heart pine the janka rating says its almost as hard as red oak this is not true mine came with a lable of yellow pine from trout river wood products . this is not my first floor I have probly layed 20 oak,enginered oak, laminet, bamboo ,ext. I bulit my own 2400 sf. home myself so Im not a beginer . If u have the pacience to match all the pieces & have the money to order for alot of extra waste its a beautiful foor .

I assume they may come from different mills. Sometimes the bundle is mostly long boards, and the ends are cleanly cut. Sometimes the bundle is full of short (2 to 3 foot) boards between two long ones, and every end needs to be cut because they are not perpendicular, and ragged. Fortunately, most of them are good. The flooring itself is easy to put down, and looks great once installed. We used "natural" stain, and a non-glossy Poly. This was for an 1805 farmhouse, so we wanted a wider pine floor. We used the 9" regular pine in one room, and while it was nice, the heart pine was better, and certainly made of a much harder wood. Since you want to cut random lengths anyway, working around the very few bad knots was not an issue. I expected to waste a lot, but ended up being able to use almost all of it. Overall, very good, but cross your fingers and hope to get stuff from the good mill.

I purchased 900 s/f. The 12 s/f bundles each consist of one 7-footer, three 5-footers, and three 2-footers. Like someone else posted, you really do need to cut both ends of each piece to get them even. That being said, the quality of the wood was good with very few pieces bent/warped and after it's all laid down, it looks great.

It does the job, but is pretty expensive and hard to get. I had to cut the wood down myself, as the planks I needed were 3 1/4" width and the only size these came in were 5". It would make sense for them to sell the wood as 3 1/4", as many houses in my area (South Bend, IN) were built using that size planks.

Heart Pine comes in nested bundles lengths that are; 2’, 3’, 4’ 5’ and 7’. They are random lengths and you can get all 7’ in one bundle or a combination of nested lengths (there is always at least one 7’ board per bundle). Thank you for your interest in our flooring products.

Q:

I need to replace some existing damaged flooring. Are the long edges of these planks truly "square cut" or do they have a slight bevel along both top edges, that can be seen once the boards are butted together , tongue to groove?

Unknowable as each lot or even bundle may differ. Color changes can also be expected with time.

Q:

Hi,

I had this flooring installed by my contractor in December across 2 floors (each 16 by 40);one is a fairly open floor and one has rooms. It was done over dry subfloor and the boards had been left in the space for around 4-5 days to let them acclimate. I saw them after they were done and they looked great. However, later (and especially after they were coated with clear poly), the planks started to seperate. I have gaps in a large numger of spots and some gaps are quite wide, like 1/4 of an inch. My understanding is that they were nailed down and I know there was very little space left near the walls so this can't be about there being too much space left. It's driving me crazy and some spots look really bad. Any idea what happened here and is there anything I can do at this point to fix this?

Wood flooring after installation continues to expand and contract seeking to normalize itself with its environment. Ideally, relative indoor humidity 30%-50% with temperatures of 60-80 degrees should be maintained. The (NWFA) National Wood Flooring Association states; “Side edge cracks between boards are normal, seasonal and to be expected. Seasonal gaps that will allow a dime to fit are within standards and should close back during seasons of higher humidity”.

Pine flooring has fairly low Stability and can shrink more than most species especially during heating/dry seasons.

Extended periods of acclimating can be necessary in some incidences. The goal is to reach an indoor equilibrium or balance between the core of the new flooring with its surroundings before assembly, fastening or installation.

The sub-floor moisture content should not exceed 12%, should not be more than 4% differential than the new flooring being installed.

Q:

Can any of your unfinished oak flooring be used for outdoor porch flooring - it is a new covered porch.

Our unfinished flooring has not been pre-treated for outdoor use, while you can use the unfinished oak you would have to treat it for outdoor use either prior to installation or thereafter

Q:

For the 3/4" x 5" heart pine, the description states that the flooring ends MAY be face nailed implying that it is optional. However, when reading the installation instructions, its states that for 5" planks the facing ends should either be screwed down or nailed implying that the butt ends must be face nailed. If the standard nailing scheduled is followed for installing the planking, is face nailing required for the 5" planking as the verbiage online and in the installation instructions seems to contradict each other. I dont want to face nail but am not sure if the 5" plank will have cupping issues if I dont.
